====== Credits ======

Most of the Kohana source code is written by the Kohana Team. There are a few notable credits, however.

===== CodeIgniter =====

Kohana was originally a fork of [[http://codeigniter.com|CodeIgniter]] (CI), which is an open-source product of [[http://ellislab.com|EllisLab]]. There are still many similarities between CI and Kohana, particularly in naming conventions and filesystem design, but all of the code is either new or completely rewritten.

===== phputf8 =====

All of the Kohana UTF-8 functions are ported from the [[http://phputf8.sourceforge.net|phputf8]] project.

===== Popoon ===== 

The default XSS filter used by Kohana was originally created by [[http://www.liip.ch|Christian Stocker]] for the [[http://www.popoon.org|popoon]] framework. The original file is called [[http://svn.bitflux.ch/repos/public/popoon/trunk/classes/externalinput.php|externalinput.php]].
